iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 Sorry! I did not understand you. Was that english? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 He said to install appserv, which is another combination package. It was a very primitive form of english, possibly dating around 50,000BC. Dude, please try to speak modern english. Unfortunately, I haven't used xampp. From the docs on their website, it looks like one of the more complicated triads. I would recommend IBServer, which is here. It's got a GUI, which means you wouldn't have to run anything under the command line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 i use xampp. just get the whole package and install it. then copy your website to the directory e.x apachefriendsxampphtdocs (remember to make a new directory in there for example htdocsmysite). then run the file "xampp_start.exe" which is located in apachefriendsxampp . a browser window will pop up. you can make change with mysqladmin etc. from there. if you want to see your site, in the browser adress type for example LOCALHOST/mysite/index.php (it depends on your site, figure it out).. when you want to close xampp run "xampp_stop"... give it a try and tell us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 hpforums, Go for manuall installation if ou just want to use PHP as then you can just install Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 4.3.10, plus saves on diskspace! Manual installation is far better than all-in-one installers as then you will gather knowledge of how to manually install Apache and PHP! You can go here to find out how to install manually! http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Viewing php and other scripts in xampp How to use xampp? To Do this, Find the xamp/htdocs/xaampp file folder. Store your php and any other scripts you want to view in this file folder. If you want to store the script in another filefolder, create the folder in the htdocs folder. When you want to display it on your browser, type the path to this file folder in the address or URL bar: For ex: LOCALHOST/xampp/filename.Php or Http://localhost/xampp/foldername/filename.Php This should load up the file for you. -reply by saraaku Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 3 services available are apache and mysql. Filezilla is bundled as well, but you don't really need that if you are just simply testing out PHP pages.
